This symposium volume contains a collection of papers presneted at the Heat Transfer Enhancement in Multiphase Flow sessions at the 2000 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE'2000), by authors from universities, national laboratories, and industry from all over the world, including the countries Bahrain, Canada, France, Israel, Norway, Russia, and the United States. The papers focus on both fundamental and technological aspects fo the subject of enhanced heat transfer in multiphase systems. The topics addressed in this volume range from the characterization of extended surfaces and application of additives, to critical-heat-flux enhancement in tubes, and electrohydrodynamic and shock waves techniques. The breadth of papers clearly reflects the diversity of the field as well as the technological significance and current interest in this important subject area. Readers will benefit from the state-of-the-art technology described herein. Perhaps one of the greatest accomplishments of the symposium was that it brought together scientists and engineers from different areas of research and applications. The symposium motivated a very valuable and stimulating "cross flow" of ideas in this complex, multidisciplinary field, leading to a cumulative effect on the exchange of knowledge, know-how, and experience.
